As the holders of Hawthorn's pick two this year, I'm pretty happy with that result.    

Winners at last

I wouldn't be overly concerned. We won't finish in the 8.

Does a Collingwood win help or hurt us, i know we should take our destiny into our own hands but in terms of the ladder, is this good for us?

Hurts us, basically guarantees pies a spot in the 8 if they win 1 more. One less spot up for grabs by those fighting to get in

Just to add Expect in 2 weeks, dees gws and saints will all be on 9 wins with only % separating us. With one sitting 9th

Carlton are so soft. 4 points in a second half against their fierce rivals. Now they're out of finals contention the AFL can move them out of the RACV Noosa Resort and into the local caravan park to finish the season.

Hopefully Carlton can knock over GWS next week but I doubt it.

If it's not West Coast in Perth it is Richmond or Geelong or less likely Port or Brisbane at their home grounds.

Finishing 8th would be a nightmare whichever way you look at it.

..... but better than finishing 9th, which gives zero chance of advancing at all ?

Yeah, the truth doesn't sound so sensationalist...

"Goal umpire makes correct decision at the goal line after getting into perfect position and having unobstructed view from around 6ft..."

"... while completely objective opposition player with no ulterior motive, lunging at full stretch, who probably can't see it that well and almost certainly doesn't know the rules anyway, claims he touched it."

IMO - it helps in that in now knocks Blues out of finals race, and Collingwood are still catchable by Dees . They were less than impressive today and they have a tough draw, one less game and I would rather meet them if we make finals than Blues.

One less contender. I think the Saints could also well be worried with their run home.

Dees have to win nevertheless.

Dees will be well into the 8 in your scenario, as if all teams win the next two matches then % rankings should probably staty the same with GWS in 9th spot. A 10% gap can't be made up in low scoring and shorter games .  Apart from us, no 60 point blowouts to worry about.

Saints may well win but only a 2% gap between them and Dees which could be made up and put the saints lowre than us.

In additon, as a possible early Christmas bonus,  if the Lions beat the Pies next week, as I suspect, then Pies next have a bye and could drop out of thge 8 altogether by end of next two rounds.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
